Ten Days With Dad: Finding Purpose, Passion, & Peace During the Darkest Days of Alzheimer's and COVID-19 - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Ten days before my father moved into assisted living, he came to live with my family.
He had Alzheimer’s.
Neither of us knew what those ten days would cost—or give us.
What followed was not dramatic in the ways people expect. There were no grand speeches or tidy resolutions. Instead, there were meals eaten slowly, conversations repeated, silences that carried more weight than words, and the quiet realization that roles had shifted in ways neither of us had prepared for.
Ten Days With Dad is an unflinching memoir about caregiving and reckoning. It examines what happens when a son is asked to care for a parent while confronting unfinished business, emotional distance, and the reality that time does not negotiate. Set during the isolation of COVID, the story unfolds in ordinary moments that reveal extraordinary truths about family, responsibility, and presence.
This is not a guidebook, and it does not promise closure. It is a story about paying attention when life narrows your options and forces you to choose how you show up.
Readers will find reflections on:
The emotional complexity of caring for a parent
How identity changes when independence disappears
The strain caregiving places on marriages, families, and selfhood
Why clarity often arrives too late, and why it still matters
Alzheimer’s took my father’s memory, dignity, and autonomy. What it gave me was a deeper understanding of forgiveness, purpose, and the cost of love.
If you are caring for a loved one, processing grief, or standing at the edge of a life transition you did not choose, this book will feel familiar in the most honest way.
Ten Days With Dad is a reminder that some of the most meaningful chapters of our lives arrive without permission—and demand our full attention.
